  • Patent number: 11558127
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a transmitter-to-receiver (T2R) relative phase in millimeter wave (mmWave) beamforming system includes: transmitting a first calibrated signal to a second antenna of the mmWave beamforming system through a first antenna of the mmWave beamforming system according to a first transmitter (TX) input signal; receiving the first calibrated signal through the second antenna, and obtaining a first loopback receiver (RX) signal according to the first calibrated signal received by the second antenna; transmitting a second calibrated signal to the first antenna through the second antenna according to a second TX input signal; receiving the second calibrated signal through the first antenna, and obtaining a second loopback RX signal according to the second calibrated signal received by the first antenna; and calibrating the T2R relative phase according to a phase difference between the first and second loopback RX signals.

  • Patent number: 9363887
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing communication control includes a control module implemented with at least one integrated circuit (IC) whose package includes a plurality of sets of terminals, each set of the plurality of sets of terminals corresponding to one of a plurality of sub-modules of the control module, and within the sets of terminals, a set of terminals corresponding to a specific sub-module of the sub-modules include a power-input terminal arranged to input power from outside the control module. For example, on a printed circuit board (PCB) of the apparatus, arrangement of some modules is similar to that of some contact pads associated to the sets of terminals. In another example, the control module includes a power distribution system including at least one power distribution wire. In another example, a PCB within the apparatus includes at least one signal transmission wire and at least one set of co-plane ground wires.

  • Patent number: 8989810
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method to be performed by a wireless communications device. The wireless communications device includes at least a first wireless module and a second wireless module. According to the method, the wireless communications device obtains a quality indicator of the first wireless module. Then, the wireless communications device examines the quality indicator to determine whether to restrain a transmission power of the second wireless module for the first wireless module.
